    2003 mp5 intake problem

    From the sound of it, it sounds like something is loose and it keeps hitting something. Maybe a loose screw from a fan that makes it rattle, maybe the protective shield at the bottom, or something else. Doesn't sound like it is the motor (Atleast to me it doesn't)

    Battery Light ON but Alternator is Charging?

    How much did it cost you? I bought mine for $15 from autozone and had to replace the wire which came out to be a total of $22 with the IAT included. I said you may have a shortage in there like I did. When it comes to electrical work in a car it gets pretty darn crazy trying to track down...

So you will need to take up your back seat and the flap over the fuel pump and replace the gauge sender unit. It's pretty straight forward. There is no...

    Battery Light ON but Alternator is Charging?

    More then likely you have a short somewhere in the wires going to the IAT.

    Battery Light ON but Alternator is Charging?

    Could be a number of problems. First check the fuses (inside and outside the car), then inspect and check the tension on the alternator belt to make sure is tight. If that doesn't seem to work unplug the battery for 15 minutes or do the ECU reboot trick and see if it comes back. If it does...
